Our players have today flown out from Sheremetyevo to Dubai for the first pre-season tour to kick off preparation for the second half of the season. Head coach Oleg Kononov has included 30 players in the squad.

Rebrov, Bocchetti, Eschenko and Gigot will continue their recovery in Dubai.

The first pre-season tour, during which we'll play one friendly match, will last until January 16. The squad will then return to Moscow, before travelling to Qatar on January 19, where it will take part in «Fonbet Match Premier Cup».
